I am trying to get off Cymbalta. I have been taking it daily for 7 years. 60mg. up to 90mg when i am pregnant. I have been on it since i was 20 years old. I no longer have health insurance. . .. so i would have to wean on my own. i have done some research... and it seems that the withdrawals are really bad. I so badly want off this medication... as it is not helping me anymore AT ALL! I am a young, mother to 3 kids under the age of 3.. i am starting a new job and am trying to figure out the timing of this all. someone please help me. how do i get off this. with out losing my mind!!!!
Hi Kboog and welcome to MT! I will post a link in our active Social forum, there may be someone with some experience with this medication. I weaned myself off of Prozac when I lost my health insurance. It wasn't easy, I felt really odd the first month. I hope you will post again and please feel free to post anywhere here on MT.

the sooner you get off it the better, but dont freak out when you get off it. I know itll cause you some psychosis and some freak-out, but just remain calm. Wean off it, and do a lot of working-out, start working out every day after you get off the medicine, you may not have time but you'll need the work-out to balance you serotonin and brain chemistry to make up for what the crappy pills did.
